"Mobal.com has the clearest, least expensive rental agreements I have found (and I have tried a number of companies over the past 9 years of trips). We’ll spend about $180 for a 10-day rental, $14 per day (including shipping both ways) and $42 to insure the phone for the rental period. A satellite phone retails for about $1,000, so the insurance is a good idea."

For our domestic shipping we always use

We use the world's only truly global satellite phone network

We realize how important it is that you can make calls on your satellite phone anywhere in the world. That’s why we rent only Iridium satellite phones.

We include FREE Fed-Ex return standard shipping

Many of our competitors charge in excess of $50 for standard return shipping. At Mobal, it's all included in the price of your rental. Always check the return shipping rate when comparing rental companies.

THERE’S NO DEPOSIT ON YOUR CREDIT CARD. PAY ONLY FOR RENTAL CHARGES AND CALLS.

Many companies take large deposits that are held until the equipment is returned.

MOBAL PROVIDES YOU WITH SIMPLE, FREE ITEMIZED BILLING.

With access to our MyAccount capability, you can check your full, itemized usage.

All your satellite phone accessories are FREE

Many of our competitors will charge you for extra batteries, carry cases, chargers and other accessories. They entice you with low satellite phone rental costs, making it seem as if you're getting a great deal, but this cost usually excludes necessary accessories. We even set up voicemail for you so it is ready to use. Many companies charge a fee to set up voicemail.

24-HOUR CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

At Mobal, we have 24-hour English-speaking customer support to help you wherever you are in the world. It gives you peace of mind while renting from us.

2-STAGE DIALING.

With your Mobal Satellite Phone, incoming calls are free; however, people calling an Iridium Satellite Phone may have to pay charges as high as $9 per minute. Two-stage dialing will lower the cost for people calling your Iridium phone; they only have to pay the cost of making a call to Arizona.

We offer you an All Risk Protection Plan

Mobal covers you if your phone is lost, stolen or damaged. It also offers up to $500 worth of airtime and gives you a free replacement phone in the USA. See our full terms for all the details.

Check out this video from the guys at the “Gone Huntin'” cable show. They explain why they always carry a satellite phone when they go filming in the wilderness (and why they choose a satellite phone from Mobal).

RECOMMENDED BY

I decided to rent this phone while I was out of the country and in a jungle
as the cell simply does not work! The sat phone worked fine in the jungle
and on the beach nearby. When it came in the most handy though was in a
very unexpected place.

Upon returning home I left the airport and went to
retrieve my car only to find that due to the very cold weather while I was
gone the battery froze/died (I am not an expert on auto issues), after
receiving a jumpstart I thought I was on my way home, but then the car
sputtered to a stop at a very inconvenient location! My cell was dead (did
not charge it on the plane) and the temp was in at about 10 F, my clothing
was limited as I travel very light and had expected to be in my warm car! I
decided to try your phone as a last ditch, doubting that it would work as I
was so close to the city and all of it's buildings. Thankfully it worked
and I was able to call for help. The phone may have saved my life, and I
will not hesitate to use one again for future travels!

So that is it, your phone worked wonderfully, the service was great, and
again, I love that so much of the profit goes to a good cause. Thanks so
much Mobal!

Sincerely,

Barbara Biddle
